Poor dog.
It went from HOLY SHIT I'M GONNA DROWN to HOLY SHIT I'M FLYING and dog paddling the whole way.
Glad the dog is safe.
Really though, how much in taxpayer money did that cost? The fuel for the whirlybird is about it. They were gonna pay the firefighter his salary regardless of the rescue or not, they were already paying for the heli so its not like they went out and purchased it just for this rescue.
I'm ignorant when it comes to cost of aircraft fuel but if they used $500 bucks of fuel for the rescue... it was money well spent. Just because it is a dog does not make it less alive or less afraid of drowning.
